A couple of questions:
1. Do you think you’ll have to add any glue to the tips or handles to keep them from sliding (or falling off) in hot weather?
2. Do you think you’ll need a little more diameter on the handles? 1.15” seems small for long time hand grip. But I’m not sure; I’m used to fatter handles (GG pole).

1) The handles will be secured with Gorilla Glue because (a) it's what I have on hand and (b) it seems to work very well. The rubber tip is a very tight fit. But I am concerned that it will loosen up over time and if I catch it in a crack I could lose it. Then again it may wear out long before it loosens up. So for now it just a press fit while the poles are on "probation" and the design is not finalized.

2) That's a concern for me too but I guess only time in the field will tell. Ideally I would love to find some "real" EVA grips with a 1/2" ID but so far they are elusive.
